What did you end up choosing Sanyukta? Would be interested in seeing what you chose to go with the greeny-white.

If you are keeping the rug, take the blue or pink out of it, and use that as paint colour. Only problem is I think the rug may be too small. We like to consider each room as a whole, can you post different views please? Leave out things you're not keeping in there.

Hey Dounia The colour and the way it has been painted is very much what we saw in the late 90's and early 2000's when we all went through the textured paint feature wall craze. But, saying that Paint and design technology have come a long way since then and I would encourage you not to give up on the copper idea and use a modern approach and product. Dulux have recently added their new range of Design Effects, Here's the copper and concrete look. There's also other options available at www.dulux.com.au. You can email them for a copy of their brochure or they are readily available at Bunnings in the paint section. Thanks Paul

Assuming that pic is your house , and without knowing anything about the rest of the house , or you , I'd go old-school , and do that wall in a rich red / almost maroon wallpaper with a 5mm wide gold stripe say every 100mm . But then I don't like grey .
